Windows recognizes the NIC as Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC. Now what do I do? Thanks in advance.

 

*edit* If it matters, this is on a laptop.

Open Mandriva Control Center (AKA "Configure My Computer") from the menu's, and find the section titled Boot - where you can configure boot parameters. There is a checkbox for APIC (may have to go into advanced mode), uncheck it - then try booting and see if it is working.

 

This is a solution I've read on another forum. If it doesn't work, turn APIC back on.

This line from lspci:

 

05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.: Unknown device 813 6 (rev 01)

 

is your nic, and eth0 is running. Just doesn't seem to have ip, so add this to /etc/modprobe.conf:

 

alias net-pf-10 off

 

and you'll prob find it'll work better, this is common problem with realtek. The lsmod command should list something like 8139too is a module that is loaded, effectively a driver for your card.

Still nothing, here is my modprobe.conf

alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel

alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394

install scsi_hostadapter /sbin/modprobe ata_piix; /sbin/modprobe ahci; /sbin/modprobe sbp2; /bin/true

remove snd-hda-intel /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; /sbin/modprobe --first-time -r --ignore-remove snd-hda-intel

install snd-hda-intel /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-hda-intel && { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss; /bin/true; }

install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe uhci-hcd; /sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd; /bin/true

alias wlan0 ndiswrapper

alias eth0 eth1394

alias net-pf-10 offblacklist audio

here is lspci

Thanks for your help so far, any more ideas? :S

 

*edit*

I just noticed after I rebooted it edited the line you told me to add and replaced it with this

alias net-pf-10 offblacklist audio

 

Should I change it back to what you said, or will it just get changed to this again?

 

The lsmod command should list something like 8139too is a module that is loaded, effectively a driver for your card.

lsmod is not showing me anything with 8139too, I'm starting to get worried lol.

I just realised your network card is coming up as unknown device, it should have been detected fine. Check your BIOS for PnP OS and make sure it's disabled and not set to be controlled by the OS.

 

Also, your eth0 as current is your firewire card.

I looked around in my BIOS and it doesn't have an option for PnP OS so it must be enabled by default since windows picks it up fine.

 

Any other ideas as to how I can get it working?

Did you try my suggestion of turning off APIC?

Yes, didn't work :(

 

As for the actual model I think it's Realtek RL8100CL, but Windows recognizes the NIC as Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC

 

*edit*

I've tried booting the newest MEPIS distro, and it too cannot detect neither my LAN or WLAN device.

What's happening if uder a root console you type

modprobe 8139too

If it loads that way, then try putting the module at your startup script ( /etc/modprobe.conf ).

 

I think we tried that already.

If I enter modprobe 8139too, it pauses for a sec and then prompts you for the next line.

After supposedly loading the module, it still won't show up when you run lspci..still shows up as Unkown device.
